Last night Linda read me a really ignorant Facebook status comparing religion to something that utterly made no sense.

How old are you?

So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. Gen 5:5
The first time I read that I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was reading it right. I cannot begin to imagine living to be 930 years old. I just had a birthday and it took me 55 years to get to where I am now. Though it has been 55 years it seems to have passed so quickly. Continue reading →

I know that there are some pseudo-Christians around; a pseudo-Christian being a false Christian. The Bible even speaks about them in 2 Tim 3:5 saying they will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.
I often read about people quoting from “other” books of the Bible.

Friday evening, Linda and I participated in the Relay for Life. This is an all night event for cancer survivors and those currently fighting the disease.
